It’s important to always have your card with you and never lend it to anyone.

For more information about Québec’s Health Insurance Plan and how to obtain a health insurance card, go to the RAMQ Website.

Renewing or replacing

Usually you receive a renewal notice about 3 months before your card expires.

If you recently registered for the Health Insurance Plan and are aged 18 or over, you will receive a renewal notice 45 days before your card expires.

If you don’t receive a renewal notice or if you misplace it, call the Régie or go to a Régie reception desk during office hours. It is important to notify the Régie if you move to make sure the renewal notice is sent to the right address.
